Does anyone have any videos on youtube of them playing piano? I would love to see the variety of styles and songs!

Look for OrangeSodaKing

I have some performances of me, but many other things, too. (Also, check for another recent channel of mine, Horszowski Piano, for some uploads of another pianist who has asked me to share some of his recordings.)

I enjoyed hearing your recordings as well as the Gershiwn plays Gershwin (four songs) and the Firkusny who seems to be a pianist discussed less and less going forward.

p.s. - One of the schools I went to had an Imperial Bösendorfer as well!

Recital I played with a friend last year:

A video I made of a piece I wrote:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQEvJ_qRpBM

A man, Jason, I had forgotten this amazing piece and video...

Is there a place in Europe I can get that, or I have to rely in SMP, amazon, etc?

Probably have to rely on SMP or Amazon.

Ordered, but it's a pity that it's not available in Europe. I mean it's a considerable market I'd like to think.

I've just started putting up vids on YouTube for my students reference (see sig). I only started this weekend so at the moment there are 51 clips ranging from preliminary to grade 5.

I am curious to hear the pedagogical purpose(s) of posting videos of this type of material "for [your] students' reference."

Regards,

Oh wow, it looks like I have a lot to explore! My funny computer will play the sound but only displays the pictures on youtube videos sometimes (but oddly enough I can ebb it on another site and see it, ha), so I'm not getting the scores...but, man I'm loving "And... it's gone" right now. I love the writing and the performance sounds excellent.

Edit: I'm also now looking for things which correspond with your name such as Anger and Depression I (is that you?). I remember hearing a good definition of depression as "anger turned inward." I never thought of the compositional possibilities until now.

Oh and Yes! Piano Stories! I love discovering new things that are good.

Oh thank you so much!

First of all about flash (youtube) I have a kinda similar problem: If I try to go full screen from youtube, I get nothing, but if I paste the link in a forum (here for example) and go full screen then it works fine...

"And... it's gone" was composed by Nikos Drelas, a Greek composer. The guitarist is a friend of mine, Antonis Hatzinikolaou, who came in my studio and did the recording...

And yes, "Anger and Depression" and of course "Piano Stories" are all mine!

There are a lot of things to explore (not too many though). And I hope to create more in a little while (once I get some time in my hands)...

You can follow the link below to my youtube channel.

And FYI, since I'm a pianist and not a vocalist, you won't find too many "songs" on my channel.

Not really a pedagogical purpose - more a chance for students to look through all the pieces and see which ones they would be excited about learning without me having to waste lesson time playing through options. I've only just started doing it so I don't really know how it'll work. Maybe none of them will look at any of my videos!

I still remember your recording of Clair de Lune - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKmvKYqYahg - wonderful compared to the numerous perfunctory recordings out there, other than this one I've only found enjoyment in Cliburn's recording of it.

You all are too reserved in mentioning your youtube channels. Humbleness is important, but so is having a chance to visit these.

Here's a couple of short pieces recorded recently that I uploaded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT5Q6DT2Dfg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i8GqN-I60s I wrote them but I'm not a pianist, so it's not me playing.

Thanks Michael, you are very kind !!

I am not a piano teacher, so take my concern with a large grain of salt.

My thought is : Knowing that young piano students in particular can be great imitators, many may simply watch a video they like many times and try to copy what they see and hear without really learning the score from reading it. Or, even while knowing how to read the score, learning much of the piece by rote from watching a video.

In my experience, I never had a teacher who would spend lesson time "playing through options." My teachers chose what they thought would be best for me to learn at the time and, while they helped me with technical difficulties and even helped with developing some interpretive ideas, my responsibility was to learn the piece from the score on my own.

I think much facility in score reading and sight reading can be learned, even in the early stages of piano study (as so many of us had to do before Youtube), by working through pieces rather than just sitting back and watching and listening.

As I said, I am not a teacher, and each teacher presents materials in ways that s/he thinks is best for the student, but I would be concerned that providing all this material at the click of a mouse could possibly slow - if not hinder - some aspects of musical development in some students.

You may not be aware that the ABRSM has long published CDs to go with their volumes of set pieces for all the grades.

Presumably, candidates who play exactly like the pianist on the CDs will get maximum marks
But at least it would save examiners having to endure odd interpretative quirks that might be imposed by teachers on their young charges......
